A practical Joke was successfully per-
petrated last evening Which. however.
came very nearly resulting seriously to
those who carried il out. At about 8
o'clock two of the mail carriers were
taking stroll in the upper end of town
when they recognized the horse and
wagon of another carriers in front of a
house on Twenty fourth street. They
observed their friend in toll was evidently
with his family, paying Sunday even
ing visit, and had no apparent use for his
rig just at that particular moment,so they
decided to luke little enjoy ment out of
it. They drove, about the city for an
hour and half, and brought the horse
back without sweating a hair" But in
the meantime the mail carrier who owned
the rig had finished his visit and finding
his outfit missing naturally concluded that
it had been stolen, and he accOrd>
ingly proceeded with all possible
haste to inform the police of his loss
The Davenport and Moline police were
informed of the bold robbery" and told
to be on the lookout for the rig Never
theless, the mail carriers, who appropria
ted the team to their own TEN porary
pleasure, returned it to the place where
they found it without being molcsted
and while the victim of the joke refused
to look al it IN the light of Joke at first

The EVENING ARGUS has made its ap-
pearance IN an enlarged form, to continue
until after the holiday advertising season .
1t mysteriouslv announces that "olher
and permanent Improvements are in con-
temptation and will be made as fast as
circumstances warrant them" Can it
be possible that its editor really contem>
plates taking Associated Press dispatches
and thus making it in fact as well AS in
name newspaper? That would be real
enterprise. Sunday Union.
o, no. Mr.. Union, You mistake entirely
the nature of the further improvements
contemplated by the ARGUS. You will if
you live long enough, find that 1t will not
be so easy to palm off the white elephant
you have been exhibiting without gain so
long, upon the shoulders of the ARGUS.
As TO the comparative merits of the two
papers. now or in the future, the ARGUS
is willing to leave the decision with any
twelve men in Rock Island, the Union
to select said twelve men.
To what contemplate practices per
son will resort when aggravated by {
spirit of envy.

4 Narrow Escape

An accident happened in peculiar
manner at Spring Cove boat slide Satur-
day afternoon. As one of the proprie-
tors of the slide was taking the chain up
he observed number of hens indulging
in private banquet on the tables of one
of the picnic parties and he instructed one
of the Newburg boys, lad of six years.
TO drive the cheeky fowls away. The
boy started to obey the injunction and
had gotten in the middle of the slide
when the boat came down with a rush.
The little fellow was bewildered for the
instant and did not know which way to
90 He stopped and was about to turn
back when the boat struck him near the
knees, hurting him up in the air and he
fell among the party in the boat, striking
one gentleman on the head, knocking
his hat of and bruising his forehead and
falling on the arm of Miss Kate Deere,
who occupied the second seat, and who,
with rare presence of mind, held the
screaming child until the boat reached its
stopping place in the water. Had not
Miss Deere held the boy firmly, be would
probably have fallen into the water and
been drowned. DIR. Barth happened to
be in one of the picnic parties al the
slide, and made thorough examination
of the boy. and found that while the legs
were bruised badly. there were no bones
| broken.
Yesterday similar accident was mar
rowly averted, and these circumstances
demonstrate the fact that the track of the
coaster should be fenced on either side.
Then there would be no danger attached
to this popular amusement.
